Hindu people will celebrate Ganesha Chaturthi on September 7th.

Okay it’s really big, like a man’s ring but I love it. Most of the jewelry I purchased in the past month from various eBay sellers cost under ten bucks! Also featured in this picture are two rings I found at a local antique market. The pinky ring appears to be written in tibetan or thai. Origin of the flower ring is unknown. (Sources: Green nail polish is L’Oreal Bijou Gems in B Strong. Ganesha ring is from eThaiMarket on eBay.

I am truly impressed by this antique enamel on copper Uzbek ring featuring a blessing (in arabic/persian/urdu?). I have three pictures of it in my Flickr with a bit more info.

An adorable Chinese wind-up toy spotted at an antique stand. This dealer also had Mao watches that move and some cute Parisian souvenirs. Good thing I brought almost no cash 🙂

Here is the best of my pictures from New York City in June 2005. When I go back I can use my new Canon Powershot Pro 1!

I posted before that I was looking for some interesting ethnic jewelry. I found some, on eBay of course 🙂 Here is my new Kuchi tribal necklace from Norther Afghanistan. It will look stunning in a shadow box. I have a few more on the way.
